But they went overboard vaccinating Israelis? I’m at a loss...

John Birch was the original anti fluoridation activist. Also he tried to call attention to our State Dept. intentionality handing China over to Mao. They called him a conspiracy theorist loon too.

Pervs get Pervy. Big surprise.

I bet they speak English to each other in bed though. Parisian French can’t abide hearing Québécois.

Yup. Did LSD escape from a lab, or was it intentionally released? It alone created the “generation gap”. To those who had experienced it there was a distinct difference from previous ways of thinking.

Of course it was all bullshit. There’s no tab that grants enlightenment.
Cocaine and heroin aren’t exactly entheogens either. Maybe hayahuasca? Maybe DMT? Maybe ketamine? Xanax? There’s got to be a magic mushroom!

It’s a Seinfeld joke. Kramer was in a karate class with kids. He dominated, until they turned on him as a group.

Cosmo is Kramer’s first name.

If it gets even a few people to start reading Dostoyevsky, even out of idle curiosity it’ll be a good thing.

Reading “The Idiot” rn. “Beauty will save the world.” and that’s a quote.

He really rips into the nihilists. 1860 ish and we’re still countering the same BS. It seems the worst aspects of human nature are easily exploited in all times and places.

  1. What percentage of American colonists actively participated in the revolution that started our republic?

  2. What percentage of military engagements did the continental army win?

  3. What percentage of us will it require actively engaging in politics on a local level to tip the scales?

My answer to all the above is 10%.

God Bless America. Amen.

I try to bear in mind; He works through us and with us. I’m all in, and know everyone here is equally committed to restoration of the republic. 100%.

The real truth of it may be banal. Don’t be surprised. All the religions will point and shout: “See! It’s just like we told you!!! Now do you believe us?”
That’ll be my favorite bit of fun, when “disclosure” happens.

You’re in your 20s, which is a pivotal period especially as regards “friends”. I’m in my 70s, thus no longer socially active, and I really enjoy it. I have people with whom I delightedly correspond, but we don’t go out hunting trim, iykwim. I’m not advocating you isolate, just saying your new friends haven’t met you yet. They’re out there, and they’ll find you. Try to be the best version of yourself wherever you go and you’ll attract quality acquaintances. Hanging out with the same people all the time because you like the same music, or brand of beer, or dress alike, or whatever isn’t friendship per se. Maybe it’s comforting, but your new friends will have different interests and activities from you and each other. Try to cultivate true friendship (voluntary reciprocity) with a spectrum of types. That’s how to broaden your knowledge base, and your address book. Be a resource to others, but get as good as you give. Anything else borders on the stupid, which obviously isn’t at all like the “you” I’ve come to know and love…. God Bless you on your birthday and henceforth. Amen.

Yes. I’ve done a lot of reading about the origins of communist infiltration. I’ve researched the thing from inception to culmination. I agree with Tailgunner Joe that every government agency was fully taken over. And they all knew. The Army had Venona and did worse than nothing. They promoted the perpetrators. Our WW2 alliance with Stalin, while FDRs commie corps had power sovietized our OSS, etc. etc. As bad or worse than alliance with Luciano’s friends. Whitaker Chambers was right when he said he was leaving the winning side. Our good fortune: They’re lemmings! We’re watching them rush headlong off a cliff. Just don’t get in their way.

I also agree with your slings and arrows assertions, (Dracula had bad PR for centuries, but now we know) I’ll take verified documented truth from any source. (I like the Gospel, at least I trust that) I also acknowledge that JFK’s family loved Joe, and he was Jacks best friend in the senate. JFK knew, after BoP undeniably, what he was dealing with.

“Winter Kills” is a good book. Fiction truer than reality?

God Bless you.

Ike despised him. Joe had a bad reputation for having cheated at high stakes poker with his fellow Army officers. Supposedly he financed his initial post war political exploits with money from card games.

He was bluffing with his lists of names. The number kept going up with his increasing popularity.

Is truth comprised when delivered by a known liar?

Ike knew about Venona. Nothing was done. I don’t know why, but suspect presidents are quickly confronted with facts of who’s really in charge. $$$ talks. They’ve all been puppets since the “federal reserve” was instituted.

I’m cynical, but believe “communism” is just a means to an end for $$$.

Lou Dobbs called them “Gnomes of Zurich”.
